Hi Guys, I'm trying some varieties of tomatoes thats new to me and would like to know if any of you have some experience with these. Great White Beefsteak I'm using the flora series at the moment. Any recommendations on nutrients for tomatoes? Thanks in advance and grow well. |
Follow-Up Postings:
None, sorry. I'm just starting with tomatoes, using some cuttings from the outdoor garden last year... grape and cherry, and maybe a roma. The grape is just starting to ripen... I've been using masterblend nutes... See here for a reply I just made - And see this guys videos, could find out and share what variety he is growing: BTW - I found the flora nutes to be pretty expensive once you get rolling with a 60-80 leafy green system... it'd be even more pricey for tomatose.. |

Thanks for the reply. We don't have a lot of options when it comes to hydroponic nutrients where in South Africa. I'm going to try one called hydrogrow. A lot cheaper than the flora series and see how that goes. I've been watching some of the stuff from mhpgardener. Really inspirational guy. Love his videos. I think as hydroponics picks up here we'll see more good stuff come in. People here seems to be more into growing "organic" and don't yet see how extremely overrated it is. Drowning plants in pesticides and calling it better for you because it's grown "organically". ha.ha. Cheers |
Ah, South Africa... Can you get regular fertilizer? Do you have a nusery/garden/farm store you can print out the masterblend analysis and have them see if they have similar or can mix you something up? |
- Posted by Cole_Robbie 6 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 27, 14 at 17:15
I grew Great White in the garden last year, although not in hydro. It is probably the best white slicer and has an excellent mild flavor. |
- Posted by ryan.moseby 10 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 28, 14 at 11:06
@nekbet. Yea we got fantastic nurseries here but not a lot that stock hydroponic items. If they do it's very limited. And then the hydroponic stores they've got good stuff but really only the more expensive stuff. Thanks to our governments total disregard for it's people, gross misspending and absolute dictatorship mentality our currency is in the can lately.. But will see if there are other cheaper nutrients. BTW. What is the NPK on the masterblend? |
- Posted by ryan.moseby 10 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 28, 14 at 11:14
@Cole_Robbie, Ah man! I'm really excited to try them out! Did you grow from seed? |
4-18-38, then I add calcium nitrate and epson salt. I think you could make your own there.. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Masterblend

Yes. I have a greenhouse and start a thousand or two plants every spring to sell. I put a link below to the company from whom I bought the Great White. They sell a lot of unusual heirloom tomatoes. |

The pattern of this purse consists of one U-shaped piece and two handles. The shorter handle is not placed exactly vertically to the opening but a little towards the center. It' s an 1,5 hour project including everything: from gathering the materials to final purse. The fabric was in my stash for ages. The lining was in my mother' s stash for ages. The button is vintage. Thanks for looking!

In a Unified basketball game between host Egypt and Algeria, Esraa Hussien of Egypt looks up before shooting. Basketball was one of several sports played that featured teams of people with and without intellectual disabilities.
Team sports bring people together. Special Olympics Unified Sports® teams do that, too and much more. Half a million people worldwide take part in Unified Sports, breaking down stereotypes about people with intellectual disabilities in a really fun way.
Members of the unified soccer team for Special Olympics New Jersey saw the new unified sports legislation signed into law. Learn More
Dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences, Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding. In Unified Sports, teams are made up of people of similar age and ability, which makes practices more fun and games more challenging and exciting for all. Having sport in common is just one more way that preconceptions and false ideas are swept away. U.S. States Embracing Unified Sports Young people with disabilities don't often get a chance to play on their school sports teams, but more and more U.S. states are adopting the unified sports approach that Special Olympics pioneered. The governor of New Jersey just signed a bill into law that encourages schools to make opportunities for sports participation available to all students. Special Olympics New Jersey, which championed the new law, is cited in the new law as a consulting organization. For almost 20 years, Special Olympics has offered sport teams that blend people with and without intellectual disabilities, and that is a model that encourages sports and fun, and which also gets people together to learn more about each other. Read more about the new law in our press release. Building Unified Sports With ESPN and Disney The Walt Disney Company, ESPN and Special Olympics have announced a two-year global initiative that will leverage the power of sports to promote an environment of social inclusion and acceptance through the Special Olympics Unified Sports program. With a multi-million dollar financial and in-kind investment, Disney and ESPN will support Special Olympics' goal of registering one million Unified Sports participants--athletes with intellectual disabilities, teammates without intellectual disabilities and coaches--by 2015. Read more about this exciting news. In addition, thanks to the generosity of Special Olympics Board Member Kim Samuel and her family's foundation, Special Olympics has been able to build capacity for Unified Sports through technology, enhanced education materials and seed grants to Special Olympics Programs that would not otherwise have the funds to start or expand Unified Sports.

Unified League is a special and unique project that kicked off activities a few weeks ago, in the wake of a cooperation agreement signed between the Israel Bowling Association and Special Olympics Israel. The League will be held once a month until July, and will continue after the summer holidays with additional athletes and players who want to join in the activities. 24 Special Olympics Athletes and 24 Players from 5 clubs of Israel Bowling Federation came from far and wide to the competition held at the Petach Tikva Bowling Center. The Bowling Association players and the Special Olympics athletes played together in a pair format, two pairs on each lane. In each League round, each pair will be allocated to a lane with another pair, which will provide an opportunity for all the participants, from all over the country, to get to know one another. Furthermore, the Club players coach the Special Olympics athletes on a weekly basis, outside of the League competition (each pair at its home club), in order to advance the Athletes, both from a professional aspect as well as from the social aspect (such as: Collaborating as a pair during the game, etc.).

The result was a celebration of youth activation that gathered youth together so they could all proclaim "Ime Mesa!" (I'm in!). The President of Special Olympics Hellas, Mrs Joanna Despotopoulou, concluded the day's events by thanking all those involved, saying "When we play and live unified we create a society where everyone is respected and valued, regardless of their abilities." At the closing, Mrs Despotopoulou was joined by the President of the Hellenic Federation of Aquatics, Mr Diathesopoulos Dimitrios, to present Certificates of Appreciation to all Special Olympics Hellas athletes.

Practice/Industry Group Overview
Public contracting is a complex area of law involving government and construction contracts. Our attorneys have years of experience with the federal, state and local agencies and related regulations and procedures. Our clients rely on our strong subject matter knowledge to insure that the government and construction contracting entities adhere to these rules, procedures and public policy from the bidding process through award and performance and the disputes process.
National Real Estate, Foreclosure, Premises Liability Practice
In recent years the failing home and commercial mortgage markets have created a new emphasis on federal agency intervention such as The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and The Department of Housing and Urban Development. For the past five years, our government contracts team has represented national "asset management" contractors for FDIC and HUD providing legal support in foreclosures, evictions, bulk sales and auctions, real estate closings nationwide and premises liability actions. Our team also represents lenders and has encountered and provided resolution to all aspects of the failed banking and real estate industry.
Contract Awards & Bid Protests
Today, the federal government is contracting with private entities to perform more of its work than ever before. To be competitive, businesses must understand the proposal process to put together winning proposals. Sometimes in that process it may be necessary to protest awards made to their competitors and defend protests by them against awards to our clients. We know how to communicate with federal, state and local government agencies to enhance a company's competitive position as solicitations are being drafted. We advise clients during the proposal preparation process to ensure that they submit responsive and compliant proposals. We help clients evaluate whether a protest challenging an award to a competitor is a good strategy that will achieve the desired outcome, and whether it will be cost effective for the organization.
Audits, Compliance & Investigations
Doing business with the government requires strict compliance with a complicated web of ever changing laws and regulations. Establishing effective compliance and training programs is the first line of defense. Properly responding to audits and government inquiries requires experienced government contract counsel that knows how to prevent contract disputes from becoming the subject of criminal or civil investigations. We have worked closely with the Defense Contract Audit Agency and Inspectors General to promptly resolve audits and investigations so that our clients can get back to business.
Contract Claims & Disputes
Claims and disputes that arise in the performance of federal government contracts generally must be resolved under an intricate procedural scheme established by Congress and set forth in the contract Disputes Act of 1978 (CDA). Disputes arising under state and local government contracts often must be remedied under similar procedures, sometimes with appeals to special administrative forums as well.
With years of experience in navigating the intricacies of the CDA "claims" process, we have when necessary, taken the fight to the Court of Federal Claims, the applicable Board of Contract Appeals or other applicable forums as the situation dictates.
Contract Administration
Government contractors face issues in the performance of their contracts wholly unlike those faced by commercial contractors. Such issues may relate to the socioeconomic objectives imposed by the government, specific labor and employment requirements, complex and archaic appropriations and funding rules, and special conflict of interest requirements, just to name a few. Potential pitfalls also exist relating to subcontracting and teaming agreements. In addition, unilateral or bilateral changes in the scope of government contracts can distract — and subtract — from a contractor's bottom line. We have experience in all of the areas.
Contract Pricing and Accounting
Congressionally imposed contract pricing and accounting requirements mean that businesses that perform work under federal government contracts must deal with a bewildering array of issues. These issues include the requirement to provide certified cost and pricing data when negotiating contract prices and changes, the question of whether contractor costs for reimbursement are allowed under the Cost Principles, and the application of complex rules for allocation of costs under the Cost Accounting Standards. We advise government and industry clients on contract cost issues that surround the formation, performance and termination of government contracts. Drawing on our years of experience in government, industry and private law firm practice, we resolve disputes through negotiation and, where necessary, litigation.
Construction Contracts
Our team has a comprehensive understanding of the legalities that rule the construction industry. Our seasoned construction law attorneys work closely with owners, developers, design professionals, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers in all aspects of public and private construction. By staying involved in our clients' business matters, we help them quickly and cost-effectively resolve disputes from construction-related agreements. Those in the construction industry must often draft, negotiate and administer construction contracts, using their own contracts or documents from the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Design/Build Institute of America (DBIA), Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJDC) and the Construction Owners Association of America (COAA). We have the experienced resources to guide these clients through the process.

BP&A Trends To Watch For In 2009
Posted by Sharyn Leaver on January 16, 2009
As we enter a new year, business process & applications professionals who want to stay ahead of the pack need to know what to expect in 2009. Uncertain economic times lie ahead, and those professionals who know what is on the horizon will best weather the storm. Here are some key trends in key process and app areas that our analysts predict for 2009:
Financial Performance Management: Financial management professionals stand in the spotlight as the economic downturn continues and companies cope with weaker demand, price pressures, rising costs, and credit constraints. Technology and process strategies in 2009 will focus on improving planning, budgeting and forecasting, and cash and risk management while under the cloud of a very uncertain and unfavorable tax environment.
Human Resource Management: Many organizations are now faced with the challenges of hiring freezes, cost management and workforce reductions. HRM technology solutions can help savvy HR professionals strategically manage through the crisis and prepare as the climate shifts to the upside. Trends to follow in 2009 include managing and developing talent, embracing HRM analytics, Web 2.0 adoption, and HR technology strategy. Paul Hamerman and I recently recorded a podcast on HRM Trends for 2009. Click here to listen.
Customer Relationship Management: Our recent surveys and interviews with customer-oriented business and IT executives suggest that the business needs driving sustained investment in CRM in the recent past will be even more compelling. Six trends dominate the agenda of CRM professionals: 1) the necessity to adapt to the rapidly changing "social" consumer; 2) the need for more robust CRM strategies; 3) the requirement to build bulletproof cases to gain project funding; 4) the need to reduce CRM project risks; 5) the imperative to unlock the value of customer data; and 6) the battle to redress vendor pricing and licensing arrangements.
Keep an eye out for more 2009 process and apps trends in our research line-up, and let us know what you're seeing or expecting.

Adair Lynden's Woodland Birthday Bash
Posted by Lacy Stroessner
Birthdays are a big deal in our family. My husband is well known for claiming his "birthday month," taking the entire month of March to celebrate, instead of just one day. His enthusiasm for celebration will without a doubt be a big hit with our girls. We try to make each and every birthday a special one – no matter how simple or grand. When Adair Lynden turned one, we threw her a little woodland party for family and friends. Take a look at our girl's special day…
Our Addie Dearest Turning 1
Click through to see the D-I-Y details, food, and decor!
The Invitation
I LOVE how these turned out! The birds and the little toadstools are just too cute!
The Presentation
I glued the invites onto some polka-dot card stock and tied them with red twine. Then, I stuffed them into brown kraft paper envelopes and used a sweet little deer stamp to add the finishing touch.
The Decor
I wanted simple, but cute decor. I borrowed some vintage serving pieces from my mom, hung black and white photos of Addie's first year along a clothesline, and made labels for the food out of moss rocks.
The Food
Everything we ate had a woodland theme. For example, we had harvest salad. black forest ham & wildberry jam sandwiches, and a pumpkin cheese ball.
The Dessert
On our dessert table (complete with a tree stump!!) we had blueberry cupcakes topped with toadstool cake pops, popcorn balls, bird's nest cookies, and "gnome-made" granola.
The Gifts
Addie's gifts were all wrapped with brown kraft paper and tied with polka-dot ribbon. We gave her just a few things – some wooden blocks, a piano, some neat hairclips, and a homemade tent.
The Pinata
I even made the pinata from scratch. (Which I will never do again, by the way!) It was cute and inexpensive but took forever!!!
The Surprise
I was about 5 months pregnant when Addie turned 1. All of the treats inside the pinata said "It's a girl!" on them. It was a fun way to surprise our family and friends about baby #2!
The Photobooth
Of course, we had to have a photobooth! I used wrapping paper for the backdrop and props from around the house, like those awesome deer antlers! Addie and the rest of the babes got a homemade party hat.

Trish Meyer: When you create a track matte composite in a pre-comp, you'll have a lot more flexibility from applying effects. For example, I can apply effects to the matte and fill separately in the pre-comp and I could also apply effects in the main comp after the track matte has been composited. And that's extremely useful for effects like drop shadows as well as any of the displacement effects like our Turbulent Displace. I don't have to do anything fancy to distort the track matte composite. And of course, I could also apply it fill. only to the wireframe apple or only to the I have all that flexibility.
With some effects, it may not matter where you apply the effect. Let's just say I want to change the color of the fill movie. If I'm in the pre-comp and I want to change the color, I could apply an effect to the fill, but I think there's a slight advantage to applying it in the next level up in my main comp. That's because I like to keep as many attributes as possible at the top level. If you apply effects in keyframes in pre-comps for no reason, you'll find yourself hunting around, looking for things so you can edit them.
I would like to use the Hue/Saturation effect. So I'll search for hue in the Effects & Presets panel and double-click to apply it. I can pick any color. I can make it green, or blue or more orange or whatever and in this case the Hue/Saturation does not change the color of the shadow. ome other color correction plug-ins may. I still think it makes more sense however to do the color correction at the beginning of the effects chain and that way it renders before Wigglerama and the Drop Shadow.
With Turbulent Displace, it may give a slightly different result before Wigglerama then after, so that's something you may have to look at. So we'll just RAM preview and that's our final result. So I hope you agree that this was a much more straightforward workflow. As soon as I realized I wanted to apply a track matte to a layer in an existing project and that layer already had keyframes, I immediately pre-composed the layer using the Leave all attributes option and added the track matte in the pre-comp.
In the next chapter, we'll look at how to use pre-composing simply to fix problems with the rendering order.

What is high blood pressure?
What is the connection between high blood pressure and heart problems?
What causes high blood pressure?
What does high blood pressure feel like?
How do I know if I have high blood pressure?
How is high blood pressure treated?
What can I do to help myself?
How can I learn more about high blood pressure?
How can I learn about related topics?
Blood pressure is the force (pressure) of your blood against the walls of your arteries. Blood pressure is measured with 2 numbers:
The top number (systolic pressure) is the pressure measured while your heart pumps blood to your body.
The bottom number (diastolic pressure) is the pressure measured while your heart rests between beats.
A normal blood pressure number is less than 120/80 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury). If your number is usually 140/90 or higher, you have high blood pressure.
Hypertension is the medical word for high blood pressure. It doesn't mean you're a tense person. It only means your blood pressure is high.
Blood pressure is the force of blood in your arteries. Your blood pressure is high if it is 140/90 mm Hg or higher. If you have diabetes or chronic kidney disease, 130/80 mm Hg or higher is considered high blood pressure.
Your blood pressure changes all the time, depending on what you're doing. It must be measured several times before you can know for sure that it's high.
High blood pressure is called the "silent killer" because there are no symptoms you can feel. The only way to know your blood pressure is high is to measure it.
High blood pressure is dangerous because it makes your heart work too hard and damages your arteries. It can also damage your brain, heart, kidneys and other organs. It can lead to stroke, angina, heart attack, peripheral artery disease (PAD) and kidney failure.
If you are inactive or overweight, exercising and losing weight can help lower your blood pressure to a normal level. If you develop healthier habits but still have high blood pressure, you may need medicines.
High blood pressure damages the walls of your arteries. This leads to:
Fatty deposits (plaque) in the inner lining of your arteries
Bulges (aneurysms) in your arteries resulting from weak spots in the artery wall
High blood pressure makes the main pumping chamber of your heart (the left ventricle) work harder. Eventually, the left ventricle grows thicker and doesn't pump properly. This is called heart failure. Symptoms of heart failure include shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs and feet.
Without treatment, high blood pressure can also damage your kidneys, brain, and eyes, and can lead to other serious health problems.
High blood pressure is very common, especially as people get older. But this is not a part of healthy aging. About 1 in 3 American adults has high blood pressure. In more than 90 percent of cases, doctors don't know a specific cause. If you have certain traits known as risk factors, you're more likely to develop high blood pressure. You can control some of these risk factors. Others you can't.
Risk factors you can't control:
In general, the older you get, the greater your chance of developing high blood pressure. It occurs most often in people over age 35. Men seem to develop it most often between age 35 and 55. Women are more likely to develop it after menopause. Having parents, brothers, or sisters who have high blood pressure.
Being African American. High blood pressure occurs at a younger age and is usually more severe in African Americans than in whites.
Risk factors you can control:
Being overweight
Eating too much salt
Drinking more than 2 alcoholic drinks a day if you're a man or more than 1 if you're a woman
Lack of physical activity (less than 30 minutes of moderate physical activity 5 days a week)
Stress — This is often mentioned as a risk factor, but stress levels are hard to measure, and responses to stress vary from person to person.
You may have high blood pressure for years and never feel it. There are no signs or symptoms. But blood pressure is easy to check. Doctors and nurses use a blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope to measure it.
"I was so surprised when my doctor said my blood pressure was high. I didn't feel sick at all. I started taking my blood pressure at home and it was always around 150/90." Frances, age 55
Your blood pressure varies during the day, so your doctor or nurse may check it several times on different days. Some people tend to have high blood pressure only when they visit the doctor. That's why your doctor may ask you to measure your blood pressure at home, or wear a device that automatically measures it over 24 hours.
Before measuring blood pressure, sit for 2 to 5 minutes. Be sure to use the best cuff size for you (normal or large).
Doctors use national guidelines to help judge whether you have high blood pressure. These guidelines are based on extensive research showing that people with lower blood pressure have better health.
A blood pressure reading below 120/80 mm Hg is normal.
A reading between 120 and 139 systolic (the top number) and between 80 and 89 diastolic (the bottom number) means you have prehypertension. This means you have a greater chance of developing high blood pressure and the problems it causes.
A reading of 140/90 mm Hg or higher is high blood pressure. If you have diabetes or chronic kidney disease, 130/80 mm Hg or higher is considered high.
If only one of the numbers is high, you still have high blood pressure. The majority of people older than 60 who have high blood pressure have isolated systolic high blood pressure where only the top number of their blood pressure is high. This condition is just as harmful as when both numbers are high.
Your tendency for high blood pressure doesn't go away. If you take medicine to lower your blood pressure, don't stop. Your blood pressure will rise again if you don't continue to take your medicine.
Healthy habits help you control high blood pressure.
Eat healthy foods, including fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products.
Cut back on salt.
Lose weight if you are overweight and stay at a healthy weight.
Engage in moderate physical activity for at least 30 minutes five days a week.
If you drink alcohol, have only 1 drink a day if you're a woman, 2 if you're a man.
Most people with high blood pressure need medicines to control it. Doctors use several types, alone or in combination, to lower blood pressure.
Diuretics help remove excess water and salt.
Beta blockers cause your heart to beat more slowly and with less force.
Calcium channel blockers (CCBs), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBS) help relax the small arteries that regulate blood pressure.
"My blood pressure was lower after I lost weight, but I still needed medicine to get the systolic pressure down to normal. I want to keep my weight down so I don't need more medicine. It all works together." Ron, age 58
Some medications taken for other conditions can raise blood pressure and/or interfere with the effectiveness of drugs used against high blood pressure. These include such drugs as steroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), nasal decongestants and other cold remedies, diet pills, cyclosporine, erythropoetin, tricyclic antidepressants, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Be sure to tell your doctor all of the prescribed and over-the-counter medicines you're taking.
Key steps to help you lower your blood pressure include:
Know your blood pressure numbers. Work with your doctor to reach a goal blood pressure of less than 120/80 mm Hg.
If you're overweight, set your initial goal at a loss of 5 to 10 pounds. If you need to lose more, a weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week is recommended until you reach a healthy weight.
Reduce the amount of sodium (salt) you eat. Limit sodium to 2,300 a day or less. Be sure to read food labels so you can avoid high salt foods. And don't add salt to your food.
Be physically active. Walk, ride a bicycle, or do other types of moderate physical activity for at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week.
If you smoke, quit. Smoking is another major risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
It is also important for you to:
Lower your blood cholesterol levels by eating healthy foods (high in fiber and low in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol) and taking your cholesterol medicine. Keep your LDL (bad cholesterol) below 100 mg/dL. People who are at very high risk for developing future heart problems may benefit from lowering LDL below 70 mg/dL.
If you have diabetes, work with your doctor to keep your blood sugar under control and reach and maintain an HbA1c of less than 7 percent. HbA1c (hemoglobin A1c) is a blood test that measures your average blood sugar level for the previous 2 to 3 months.
Talk with your doctor. Here are some good questions to ask:
What is my blood pressure?
How can I lower my blood pressure?
Do I need medicine to lower my blood pressure?
How long do I need to take the medicine?
Is there a cure for high blood pressure?
How does high blood pressure affect my health?

Generally, the power dissipation in a semiconductor device generates self-heating effect. This effect is very significant in power applications using Gallium Nitride. Taking into account heating effects enables us to understand physical phenomena observed in experiments like the low saturation velocity. In this paper, numerical simulations were carried out to study the influence of thermal ...

[2]Centre for Advanced Photonics and Electronics, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, UK
The finite-element method (FEM) (COMSOL RF Module) has been employed for modal analyses of porous silicon (PSi) waveguides composed of a guiding layer of low porosity (high refractive index) on a cladding layer with higher porosity (lower refractive index). These can be made by switching the current density from a lower to a higher value during the electrochemical etching process. The ...

[1]Laval University, Quebec City, QC, Canada
An important step in designing a microstructured optical fiber is the computation and management of its dispersion curve. It is well-known that computing chromatic dispersion can be done analytically for certain geometries (e.g. step-index fibers), but no such analytical methods is known in the realm of microstructured optical fibers. Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3 illustrate cross-sections of ...

Southeast Asia: Tesco uses price to fight Thai rule on shorter hours
BANGKOK: UK-based retailing giant Tesco Lotus is banking on a 10 million baht (US$242,178) discount campaign to help counter the effects of weak consumer sentiment and shorter operating hours.
The '2 for' promotion offers discounts of five to 37 per cent to customers buying doubles from a range of 1,500 household essentials. The company expects this to result in total consumer savings of 45 million baht in just over three weeks.
"Our customers tell us they need to save more money when they shop, particularly as the cost of living is rising in many other areas such as petrol and energy costs," said vice-president for marketing Winattha Nipawong.
The '2 for' promotion allows the consumer to save via the discounts offered, and also from fewer trips to the hypermarket, thus "helping the country to save petrol", she said.
Tesco Lotus has itself had to slash operating hours as the Thai government strives to rationalise energy use amid rising oil prices.
The promotion is being backed by press, radio and TV advertising, as well as events featuring Thai celebrity twins Fundee and Funden. It is running concurrently with Tesco's ongoing Price Roll Back programme, aimed at maintaining the company's "price leadership" in a very competitive market.

I stay in hotels every single week and every now and then, things go wrong. But occasionally you get a stay that is a disaster from start to finish and oddly a large percentage of these types of stay seem to occur in a Hilton hotel. Indeed I can't remember a stay in a Hilton hotel that has not resulted in me vowing never to return again.
So I arrived at the Hilton Newbury North around 7:30pm on a Thursday evening in November. Once again, we see that somebody has been to the EasyJet school of geography as this isn't so much in North Newbury as it is North of Newbury.
My timing wasn't great as I had arrived just as a bus full of foreign tourists had unloaded so the lobby area was chaos. I had to assume that somewhere beyond the crowd was a check in desk but as there were no staff on the entrance (don't Hilton employ a concierge anymore) I had to wait (and wait and wait).
Eventually the crowd subsided and after some time I was checking in. I was "upgraded" to an "executive" room (which is always welcomed) and before long I was leaving the still heaving lobby and bar area and wandering down the rabbit warren of very tired corridors searching for my room.
Upon arrival the room itself was of an OK size although was rather bare and unwelcoming. The room had a very strong chemical smell to it and no air conditioning or ventilation. Opening the triple glazed windows revealed that the room is a matter of feet away from the M4/A34 roundabout which is always very busy. Also being on the ground floor meant that security would be a concern. I am guessing staying here on a warm summers day would be impossible.
At this stage I also discovered that my Executive Room did not have a safe and that the remote for the TV didn't work. It also had a selection of water, wine and chocolate spread out on a side table with no indication if this was complementary or just part of the Hilton ever spreading mini bar. I ended up having to ask at reception to get the answer (it was complementary)
By now it was getting late so I went for dinner. Because of the location of the hotel, your options are limited to eating in as you are long taxi drive from the town centre.
Dinner itself was fairly average but as seems to be the norm for a Hilton, the cost of a glass of wine at £9 is just crazy. After a couple of drinks in the bar, I retired for the night.
In the morning I awoke with a pounding headache which I put down to the very stuffy unventilated room and the chemical smell
I went for breakfast and waited and waited. Plenty of staff were busy clearing tables and kept walking past me and the other guests waiting to be seated but not one member of staff acknowledged us. Would it really hurt to perhaps say good morning and explain that somebody would be with us shortly rather than just ignore us?
Eventually I was seated and ventured over to the hot buffet to find a rather disappointing selection of empty dishes sitting under a heat lamp. I went and helped myself to a coffee from the self vend machine before returning just as a "pot" of bacon was being put out and a fresh plate of fried eggs.
I filled my plate and returned to my table. Why there was no ketchup to be found anywhere is beyond me
The fried eggs were clearly not freshly cooked being totally solid. I have to guess they had been sat in the kitchen for some time. The bacon was very salty (cheap) and seriously over cooked. The rest was just as bad. For £15 this is disgraceful. One bite was enough for me to give up and leave.
Back in my room, I discovered that the bathroom was not only tired and worn but that it didn't work very well. The shower gave out a dribble of water that was sprayed in all directions (except downwards) and that was at best tepid. I got cold and almost wet but felt somewhat short changed. The hot water in the taps was the same and I ended up having to shave in "almost" warm water.
With no breakfast, half a cold shower and a cold shave I really did not leave my room feeling ready for the busy day ahead.
I did raise these points at checkout but I got the impression the receptionist had heard them all before
So a disaster of a stay.
I thought I had hit rock bottom in Newbury hotels a few weeks ago. I was wrong. It could (and did) get worse and once again I have found a Hilton hotel that I will not be returning to.
It wouldn't be so bad if this were not one of the more expensive hotels in the area that tries to set itself above the crowd. It fails at this especially when you realize that this is a number of miles outside Newbury.
If you are staying in the town, there are better hotels for less money.

NEW YORK | Thu Oct 13, 2011 11:09am EDT
(Reuters) - Anti-Wall Street protesters say the rich are getting richer
while average Americans suffer, but the group that started it all may have
benefited indirectly from the largesse of one of the world's richest men.
There has been much speculation over who is financing the disparate
protest, which has spread to cities across America and lasted nearly four
weeks. One name that keeps coming up is investor George Soros, who in
September debuted in the top 10 list of wealthiest Americans. Conservative
critics contend the movement is a Trojan horse for a secret Soros agenda.
Soros and the protesters deny any connection. But Reuters did find
indirect financial links between Soros and Adbusters, an anti-capitalist
group in Canada which started the protests with an inventive marketing
campaign aimed at sparking an Arab Spring type uprising against Wall
Street. Moreover, Soros and the protesters share some ideological ground.
"I can understand their sentiment," Soros told reporters last week at the
United Nations about the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations, which are
expected to spur solidarity marches globally on Saturday.
Pressed further for his views on the movement and the protesters, Soros
refused to be drawn in. But conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh summed
up the speculation when he told his listeners last week, "George Soros
money is behind this."
Soros, 81, is No. 7 on the Forbes 400 list with a fortune of $22 billion,
which has ballooned in recent years as he deftly responded to financial
market turmoil. He has pledged to give away all his wealth, half of it
while he earns it and the rest when he dies.
Like the protesters, Soros is no fan of the 2008 bank bailouts and
subsequent government purchase of the toxic sub-prime mortgage assets they
amassed in the property bubble.
The protesters say the Wall Street bank bailouts in 2008 left banks
enjoying huge profits while average Americans suffered under high
unemployment and job insecurity with little help from Washington. They
contend that the richest 1 percent of Americans have amassed vast fortunes
while being taxed at a lower rate than most people.
Soros in 2009 wrote in an editorial that the purchase of toxic bank assets
would, "provide artificial life support for the banks at considerable
expense to the taxpayer."
He urged the Obama administration to take bolder action, either by
recapitalizing or nationalizing the banks and forcing them to lend at
attractive rates. His advice went unheeded.
The Hungarian-American was an early supporter of the 2008 election
campaign of Barack Obama, who will seek a second term as president in the
November, 2012, election. He has long backed liberal causes - the Open
Society Institute, the foreign policy think tank Council on Foreign
Relations and Human Rights Watch.
According to disclosure documents from 2007-2009, Soros' Open Society gave
grants of $3.5 million to the Tides Center, a San Francisco-based group
that acts almost like a clearing house for other donors, directing their
contributions to liberal non-profit groups. Among others the Tides Center
has partnered with are the Ford Foundation and the Gates Foundation.
Disclosure documents also show Tides, which declined comment, gave
Adbusters grants of $185,000 from 2001-2010, including nearly $26,000
between 2007-2009.
Aides to Soros say any connection is tenuous and that Soros has never
heard of Adbusters. Soros himself declined comment.
The Vancouver-based group, which publishes a magazine and runs such
campaigns as "Digital Detox Week" and "Buy Nothing Day," says it wants to
"change the way corporations wield power" and its goal is "to topple
existing power structures."
Adbusters, whose magazine has a circulation of 120,000 and which is known
for its spoofs of popular advertisements, came up with the Occupy Wall
Street idea after Arab Spring protests toppled governments in Egypt, Libya
and Tunisia, said Kalle Lasn, 69, Adbusters co-founder.
"It came out of these brainstorming sessions we have at Adbusters," Lasn
told Reuters, adding they began promoting it online on July 13. "We were
inspired by what happened in Tunisia and Egypt and we had this feeling
that America was ripe for a Tahrir moment."
"We felt there was a real rage building up in America, and we thought that
we would like to create a spark which would give expression for this
Lasn said Adbusters is 95 percent funded by subscribers paying for the
magazine. "George Soros's ideas are quite good, many of them. I wish he
would give Adbusters some money, we sorely need it," he said. "He's never
given us a penny."
Other support for Occupy Wall Street has come from online funding website
Kickstarter, where more than $75,000 has been pledged, deliveries of food
and from cash dropped in a bucket at the park. Liberal film maker Michael
Moore has also pledged to donate money.
The protests began in earnest on September 17, triggered by an Adbusters
campaign featuring a provocative poster showing a ballerina dancing atop
the famous bronze bull in New York's financial district as a crowd of
protesters wearing gas masks approach behind her.
Dressed in anarchist black, the battle-ready mob is shrouded in a fog
suggestive of tear gas or fires burning. Some are wearing gas masks,
others wielding sticks. The poster's message seems to be a heady
combination of sexuality, violence, excitement and adventure.
Former carpenter Robert Daros, 23, saw that poster in a cafe in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida. Having lost his work as a carpenter after Florida's
speculative construction boom collapsed in a heap of sub-prime mortgage
foreclosures, he quit his job as a bartender and traveled to New York City
with just a sleeping bag and the hope of joining the protest movement.
Daros was one of the first people to arrive on Wall Street for the
so-called occupation on September 17, when protesters marched and tried to
camp on Wall Street only to be driven off by police to Zuccotti Park - two
acres of concrete without a blade of grass near the rising One World Trade
"When I was a carpenter, I lost my job because the financier of my project
was arrested for corporate fraud," said Daros, who was wearing a red arm
band to show he was helping out in the medic section of the Occupy Wall
Street camp.
Since its obscure beginnings, the campaign has drawn global media
attention in places as far-flung as Iran and China. The Times of London,
however, was not alone when it called the protests "Passionate but
Adbusters' co-founder Lasn dismisses that, reeling off specific demands: a
tax on the richest 1 percent, a tax on currency trades and a tax on all
financial transactions.
"Down the road, there will be crystal clear demands coming out of this
movement," he said. "But this first phase of the movement is messy and
leaderless and demandless."
"I think it was perfect the way it happened."

Hey all, first post here but I've been doing plenty of reading on this site. I made a really bad mistake tonight after brewing my beer and I'd like some opinions. I'm not sure if the recipe in this case would make any difference or not but I'll provide that at the end of the post. While rehydrating my dried Salale US-05 yeast I dropped the package on the floor and lost at a minimum half of the yeast, max of two thirds. I'm currently rehydrating whats left and letting it get going before adding it to the wort. I have a few options, I could just leave it and hope the yeast added populate themselves enough to do the job. I could go buy another packet of yeast, however that's a long drive and I'd prefer not do that (and can't do that now ). The third option would be to siphon a carboy I have filled with a IPA that's using the same yeast into a empty carboy, I could then add my newly made wort into that carboy (has a cake) and then put that back in my 6.5 gallon bucket. I cannot leave it in the carboy, it's 5 gallons and that's how much wort I just made.....at least that's my opinion, blowing up a carboy is not one of my interest! Anyway the idea would be to stir up the cake enough to get some yeast into the wort and back into my bucket. It's the same yeast in both batches. I just added the yeast and I'm leaving the bucket in a 68 degree room (higher than typical for me) to help the yeast get a jump start....hopefully. I'd really appreciate hearing what you'd do in the same situation. 7 lbs golden light liquid extract 2 lbs breiss golden light dry extract 12 ounces 60L crystal malt grain Hops, all Centennial, 1.75 ounces added at boil (60 min) 1.25 ounces added at 45 min left in boil .5 added at 20 min left in boil .5 added at 10 min left in boil OG 1.074 MOD EDIT: Threads/posts merged First post here (or second?) I swear I posted this earlier? To make this simple here's what happened and possible solutions. I made a wort earlier this evening, dropped the yeast packet on the floor and lost half to two thirds of the yeast.......not good. I used what I could and it was bubbling away while rehydrating. I have a yeast cake at the bottom of a carboy that used the same yeast, safale us-05, so in theory I could use part of, if not all of that.....that would be a fair amount of transfer work. I cannot put the wort on top of the cake because the carboy is 5 gallons, same as the wort, it's currently in 6.5 gallon bucket. I can, would prefer not, going back to the store which is 45 minutes from my house at 70mph to buy more yeast, but thought I'd check other options first. It's an IPA and I posted my recipe the first time but in case I messed that up, here it is again: 7 lbs golden light malt liquid extract 2 lbs golden light DME 12 ounces 60L crystal malt steeped for 30 min Hops, all centennial 1.75 added at boil, 60 min 1.25 added at 45 min .5 added at 20 min .5 added at 10 min Hopefully this isn't a double post! Thanks for any opinions!
The good thing about dry yeast is that there's plenty in the packet. Normally I would say you should be ok, but the OG is pretty high on that recipe. You probably should have pitched two packets on that, but that's a good note for the future... I agree, you can't pitch that much wort on the yeast cake you have, and you don't want to leave wort sitting around without fermentation. My concern also is that you may have gotten undesirable stuff on the yeast when you dropped it... My advice to you is: 1. Take the hit and go to the LHBS if they are still open and buy two packets. Hydrate and pitch both. 2. If you have some DME around, make a quick starter with the dry yeast. I know normally you wouldn't want to with dried yeast, but since you have about a quarter of what you need, that would be your other option to pitch what you need. (You would want to pitch the starter by tomorrow morning at the latest.) 3. If that's not an option at this point, I would say warm the wort up to about 75, pitch the yeast, and rock the fermenter about every thirty minutes (as late as you can) to try to keep the yeasts in suspension and working. Then tomorrow, get another packet in the morning and pitch it.
Keg #1: Oatmeal Stout (WLP004) Keg #2: Oatmeal Stout (WLP037) Keg #3: Denny Conn's Bourbon Vanilla Porter Keg #4: Empty Bottled: Apfelwein, Scottish 60/- On Deck: Simtennial Pale Ale
Crazy idea: Do you have an autosiphon? You could try to take out the sediment tip, bury it into the cake, and pump into the bucket. That might get you some yeast slurry without having to juggle beer around. Whatever you do, if you do underpitch, aerate the hell out of that wort.
Put the lid on the fermentor...plug the hole with starsan soaked towl. Goto lhbs and get two packets of S-05 and pitch in the morning. Anything touching the ground is out. You risk contaminating wort and with underpitching you will not get a clean ferment. Check out Mrmalty.com for how much slurry you'd need. Pitching on top of another cake will contribute potential issues trub and hop residue. The yeast is best "rinsed" only a portion of the cake is healthy yeast. I know I always have California ale aka S-05 around in fridge. Its pretty cheap. You'll be fine letting your wort sit overnight. Read the no chill threads on here.
Thanks everyone, added yeast this morning and bought a couple extra packets

Men Often Need Encouragement to Ask for Help
By Alex Stadler
Anger can be deafening. It oppresses and creates an isolation that leads us to crave an escape route. Some seek this getaway from our internal negative chatter through various regimens of immersion such as the Internet, the news, the latest reality show/situation comedy, alcohol, drugs, etc.
The relief, though, is often false and fleeting.
Each time these negative thoughts return, they intensify. Yet we continue to tell anyone who asks that we are
"fine" when we feel terrible, because that has been drilled into our concept of "manliness" since we were young. If we continue to walk down this negative and self-critical path, our destination will be intensively negative and self-critical. We arrive at blackness, at nowhere. This is when we will believe that we have nothing to live for.
When someone takes his life, it is because he had a plan, the means and the energy. Most attempts that fail are cries for help. You will know that you are approaching or have reached this breaking point; the point where you need to ask for help, when you experience any combination of the following:
- Helplessness
- Hopelessness
- Poor sleep
- Poor appetite
- Poor self-care habitats
- Inability to enjoy the things you normally love
- Inability to communicate with the people you love
- Any pattern of substance abuse
This is not an exhaustive list, but a list of indicators that you have reached the limit of your private suffering. Remember that suffering is always temporary but only alleviated by transforming it into a path to self-acceptance. There is no shame in surviving depression, and only through connection can we survive. If you are becoming concerned – about yourself or someone else – take stock, reach out, speak out and make that life-saving connection.
